Outside the mountain range, the crowd was discussing. "I think he might even get a higher ranking if he doesn't do anything."
"There wasn't such a rule before. Why did Vice President Saul suddenly add it?"
"I heard that his disciple was robbed twice by Cai Jianqiang, and he couldn't take it anymore."
…
Cai Jianqiang's face fell, and across from him, Deng Pu's eyes flashed with delight. "Give it back to me. It'll only cause your results to drop." He did not believe that Cai Jianqiang could unlock seven sourceboxes. Forget seven, he might not even be able to unlock three or four, and that was under the premise that no one was interfering.
Cai Jianqiang's gaze swept past Deng Pu and landed on the Serpent Queen who was passing by. He casually tossed a box in front of her.
The Serpent Queen was stunned. "For me?"
Cai Jianqiang turned around and tossed three boxes in all directions of the mountain range. Clearly, he would rather throw them away than give them to Deng Pu. He was not stupid, and this rule had come from Saul. Deng Pu was Saul's disciple, and this rule was meant to help him. Although Cai Jianqiang could not attack Deng Pu for no reason, he could still disgust him.
Deng Pu was indeed disgusted, and he glared at Cai Jianqiang before deciding on a direction to go.
Somewhere in the mountain range, Lu Yin looked at the boxes that had fallen from the sky. Who had thrown them?
They had almost hit him.
At this moment, Deng Pu rushed over and unceremoniously slapped Lu Yin. "Get lost."
Lu Yin frowned and kicked out. There was a thump, and Deng Pu was sent flying. He had not been on guard against Lu Yin since he was just an Explorer, and he had not expected disaster to strike so suddenly. He felt a sharp pain in his chest as the scenery around him rapidly receded, and he crashed into the swamp in a sorry state.
Everyone in the Hall of Insight was stunned, as Deng Pu's luck was truly unparalleled. They had all seen this person's battle with Ku Wei, and he had the strength to escape from Cai Jianqiang. Deng Pu could not compare to him, but he had chosen to provoke this person.
Felynn felt strange. First, it was Cai Jianqiang, and now it was Lu Yin. This Deng Pu could not be so unlucky, right? She hoped that he would successfully become the champion, or else her plan would not be perfect.
Many people were cheering for Deng Pu, but he himself was stunned. He had been sent flying before he could even react. That kick had been both ruthless and accurate, and he did not even have the courage to look for trouble. Wasn't the Innerverse?
How could there be so many ruthless people?
"Seventh Bro, that seemed to be Deng Pu," the monkey reminded him.
"Are you sure?" Lu Yin put away the box and was taken aback by her words. "Are you sure?"
"You didn't even look after beating someone up?"
"I forgot. He's just a passerby with the strength of a Cruiser. His body is quite sturdy, so that kick shouldn't be too much of a problem. Since it's Deng Pu, let's hope that it doesn't hinder him from becoming the champion."
"Seventh bro, now that he's crippled, you can take his place, hehe."
Lu Yin was helpless. "Have you forgotten about that ruthless Hunter?
Even Ku Wei was scared away. "
"That's right. Hunters are generally at the Perceptive Intermediate level, so this person has the highest chance of becoming the champion," the monkey muttered.
"It's impossible for Saul to allow True Insight to fall into someone else's hands. Let's just have that Hunter block this disaster for us," Lu Yin said.
"Seventh Bro, I think that you should still fight for first place. After all, you don't plan on standing up for Felynn. Once Saul is defeated by Felynn and the others, you'll have to fight for the sourcebox," the monkey said.
He wasn't afraid of fighting, but Felynn represented the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society. Although there weren't many members in this organization, their influence was great. If he offended the entire Outerverse Lockbreaker Society, then it wouldn't be good for him in the future.
Now that a Hunter had become a thorn in Saul's side, he would definitely be targeted. Lu Yin wasn't a threat to Deng Pu at all, so he still had a chance to fight for the champion's position.
Outside the mountain range, screens were floating all over Sourcepeak Planet, allowing everyone to watch the Lockbreaker Competition.
Within a manor that was surrounded by mountains and rivers, Wei Xin 'er was eating something with an unhappy expression. Her eyes were glued to a screen, and she occasionally crunched the food in her mouth.
Not far away, Wei Rong laughed. "Xin 'er, come over to me."
"No, you're angry." Wei Xin 'er snorted.
Wei Rong was helpless. "You haven't even tried lockbreaking, so it's too early for you to participate in the competition. I promise you that I'll let you participate in the next Lockbreaker Competition. It'll only be ten years."
Wei Xin 'er glared at Wei Rong. "Ten years?
Do you know what ten years means to a woman? "
"You're a girl, and you're still young."
"Don't call me young."
"But you're not even twenty yet."
"I'm an adult, and I can make decisions for my own life."
"Fine, fine. Even if I agree to let you participate, you won't be able to enter. The competition has already started a day ago." Wei Rong smiled.
Wei Xin 'er gritted her teeth and snorted again before running away. She didn't want to be with this bad guy.
Wei Rong's expression calmed down as he watched Wei Xin 'er leave. He then looked at Deng Pu's image on the screen. "Keep a close eye on him. He'll definitely be the champion this year, and True Insight cannot fall into anyone else's hands."
Behind him, a cultivator softly acknowledged the order.
"How are their preparations going?" Wei Rong asked.
"Everything is ready. We're just waiting for him to make a move at the last moment."
"That person is also troublesome. He can rely on external items to remain undefeated in a battle between Enlighters. Felynn, that stupid woman, actually wanted to use him, and she only told us about him in the end. She's extremely foolish. Pass down the order to avoid him as much as possible."
"What if he gets in our way?"
"Let Felynn negotiate with him. If it really doesn't work …" Wei Rong's gaze turned cold. "It's settled."
"Understood."
Within the Forest Hotel, Angie stood at the top of a tall tree and watched the screen. Ah Mu was behind her. "This planet is too advantageous for our battle. Warn the people below to not expose our identities as long as we achieve our goal."
"Yes, Young Master," Ah Mu softly acknowledged. He looked up and coincidentally saw Lu Yin's image appear on the screen. Ah Mu had seen Lu Yin's disguise and recognized him. He looked worried, as Lu Yin's existence was a variable.
On Sourcepeak Planet's space station, inside an Endless Borders spacecraft, many cultivators were dressed in uniform battle uniforms without any insignias. They were all mercenaries from Aegis, which meant that they were independent cultivators. Although they were independent cultivators, their discipline was strict, as they had been trained by Aegis.
The spectators on Sourcepeak Planet did not know that a disaster was about to befall them.
Another day passed, and Lu Yin had unlocked five sourceboxes in the mountain range. Each one took him an average of three hours, and most of his time was spent searching for the sourceboxes.
Although there were thousands of Lockbreakers scattered throughout the mountain range, very few were actually able to find any sourceboxes. Furthermore, Ku Wei and the others had fought over them, so most of the sourceboxes were concentrated in the hands of the top few. Most people did not even have a single sourcebox, let alone unlock one. Lu Yin himself had two sourceboxes, but he had also fought over them.
Lu Yin did not know if unlocking five sourceboxes was considered good or bad.
There was still one last day, and Deng Pu, Xi Qi, and the others should have hidden themselves and focused on lockbreaking. With their Perceptive Intermediate abilities, their lockbreaking speed should not be any slower than Lu Yin's, and their results should be quite good. However, with Lu Yin's results, he would definitely be able to pass the first round. He just did not know what his ranking would be.
Cai Jianqiang tiredly walked out from underground. He had just finished unlocking his second sourcebox, and it had taken him nine hours to unlock it. It had only been a Discerning Elementary sourcebox, and his lockbreaking ability was too weak. He was confident that he could unlock many sourceboxes, but that would take time, and right now, he lacked time.
There should not be many people slower than him, and Cai Jianqiang frowned as he looked around. It should not be a problem for him to pass the first round, but if he wanted to become the champion, his results would be too poor. After muttering to himself for a long time, he suddenly looked up with a resolute gaze. He was sorry, everyone. Although it went against his conscience, he had to do this for True Insight. Everyone would have to rely on their own abilities!
Within the Hall of Insight, Saul looked down in satisfaction. Deng Pu had already unlocked seven sourceboxes, and his efforts in pointing out the locations of the sourceboxes had not been in vain. If not for Cai Jianqiang causing trouble midway, Deng Pu would have unlocked even more sourceboxes. Not bad, not bad.
"That kid's lockbreaking speed isn't slow. His average lockbreaking speed is three hours. Saul, he's even faster than your disciple," Fiend Li praised as he looked at Lu Yin in the mountain range.
Saul's face sank, but he did not say anything.
Felynn was astonished, as she had not expected Lu Yin's lockbreaking speed to be so fast. This person had not been a Lockbreaker for long, but he was already a five star Discerning Elementary Lockbreaker. However, his lockbreaking speed was not any slower than that of a Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker. This kid's talent was indeed as extraordinary as the rumors said.
"Xi Qi isn't bad either. She's already unlocked four sourceboxes, and her average lockbreaking speed is three and a half hours," Yi Feng said coldly.
"There's also that Serpent Queen. Her lockbreaking speed is four hours, and she's also unlocked four sourceboxes."
"That Ku Wei has unlocked five sourceboxes, and his average lockbreaking speed is five hours. However, this kid took less than two hours to unlock one sourcebox. He's the fastest out of everyone," Mr. Jun said.
"If he has such lockbreaking ability, then why doesn't he find his own sourceboxes? His sourceboxes are all stolen from others," a Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker said unhappily, as his disciple had been stolen by Ku Wei.
The others did not say anything, as stealing was also a skill. Deng Pu had already been robbed twice by Cai Jianqiang, and Saul had no choice but to change the rules.
There was only one day left, and if nothing unexpected happened, Deng Pu would be the final winner. He still had three sourceboxes in his possession, so he did not need to go out and search for them. The others still needed to search for the sourceboxes, and if they did, it would be a waste of time.
As for Cai Jianqiang, no one mentioned him. Although he was a Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker, his lockbreaking speed was too slow. If he had not successfully unlocked a Perceptive Intermediate sourcebox, then the Society would not have allowed him to become a Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker. This person was a disgrace to many Lockbreakers.
At this moment, the Hall of Insight suddenly shook. Saul and the others' expressions changed, and they looked down. "Not good! What is Cai Jianqiang trying to do?"
Everyone had thought that the day would be very peaceful, and many of them had hidden themselves to lockbreak. However, suddenly, surging star energy erupted, causing the mountain range below the Hall of Insight to tremble. Everyone was shocked. What was going on?
Cai Jianqiang stood high in the sky and forcefully plundered all of the star energy before recklessly bombarding the mountain range below the Hall of Insight. With his ridiculously powerful strength, he was able to crush everyone indiscriminately.
Many Lockbreakers were in the middle of lockbreaking when they were forcefully interrupted.
